Chapter 4: 1.2

If I leave the house at this hour, Nenehana is likely to arrive at school before me. I usually get there earlier than her, so I might make her worry. Let’s send her a message when I get on the train: …

“You know, I think we should have a face-to-face meeting once before we actually decide to move in together. … Since it’ll be important to me as well as to you too, Daiki.”

“Sure, sure. Well, if they do move in here, we’ll be able to see each other every single day, so don’t worry about it and bring them whenever you feel it to be a good time. Ah is it perhaps, I’ll have to change my last name when you get remarried?”

“Ah that too! That was also a part of the important things! Your mother is thinking about going along with making “Morita” as her nickname at her place of work, but what are your thoughts about this Daiki…”

“Ah, I’d like that, too. It’s too much of a hassle to explain the reason for changing your last name at the third year of high school, I wonder if I could also make it my nickname as well? Could you please ask our classroom-teacher at school if something could be done regarding this?”

“I understand. Since you’re going along with the selfish wish of your mother, and I’ll do my best and ask the teacher to let it be done.” 

“Then, I’ll leave it to you! I’m off to school then.” 

“Hey! We still have some very important things still to discuss about. …”

“You can do the rest as per your liking. Apart from changing our surnames, is there really something that is going to affect me?”

“Obviously it’s going to matt…— Ah okay~ then. … I get it! I’ll do whatever I seem fit from now on then!”

Even though I approved of her remarriage. Mom seemed kind of grumpy for some reason, 

“Well then, I’m off.”

“Sure, sure, take care/see you.”

My mom sees me off while I leave for school. I walk quickly towards the station.

I wanted to go to school and see Nenehana as soon as possible.

― … However, I wonder if I had listened to my mother’s story way too perfunctorily? 

As soon as I got on the train, I suddenly remembered my mother’s face just before leaving her. My mind got flooded with the image of her face… becoming cramped up in the process in my mental imageries.

Thinking that I might have done something terrible, my heart became a bit cloudy.

But … it’s not that I didn’t listen to her properly because I wanted to think about and meet up with my girlfriend. I think, it would be better if my mother were to get remarried with a suitable partner.

For a long time, she raised me all by herself with her womanly hands. Even though I had started working part-time after I entered high school, but I’m fully aware of the amount of burden I’ve put on her up till now.

[TL note: Woman who raise their children all alone are not seen in a good light in Japan; moreover, the children of such women are dealt with less friendliness. Probably the author wants to mention the societal reactions on her as she raised him all alone.]

On starting the third year of high school, my mother stopped me from working part-time. She wanted me to concentrate on studying for the entrance exam steadfastly. She said she didn’t want me to work too hard because of our family’s condition, and in turn, for that very reason, fail to clear the entrance examination.

However, if I quit my part-time job, our family income will decrease. She wanted to work more to compensate for my lack, but on the other hand, I was worried that she might tamper her health and get sick because of overworking.

If she were to remarry, life will become a lot easier. The reason for my mother to force herself alone into work, will cease to exist. I feel grateful about it.

I had readied my heart on welcoming any man who was ready to remarry my mom.

Judging by my my mom’s personality, she will not chose someone whom I will   oppose her to remarry. Since he is the person, my mom chose after dad, I believe he will be as serious and gentle as dad.

It’s a little embarrassing, but I might as well call him “stepfather” one day.

I’m no longer at the age to make a fuss like, “My dad is the only one who is pure as heaven while no one else is!”. I believe that even my father would have wanted his surviving family members to live happily.

That’s the very reason I ― I neglected those “important matters” that mom wanted to discuss with me, half-heartedly.

To be honest, one of the reasons I passed through without hearing her out because it was embarrassing to hear my mom talking about the person she liked.

That reason is not cool, so I’ll keep it locked deep inside my heart. 

“Well, I guess it’ll be better to ask her next time when she’s calmer. …”

I shelved the matter of my mom’s remarriage in the back of my mind, thinking I would ask her about it the next time I had the chance.

As a student, I have a lot to things to think about. About the class which I had attended, about the next test that were scheduled. About committee work along with my new girlfriend. Also, adolescence is a period of time riddled, full of worries.

Yes, and after that, as days passed, I was becoming busier.

And so, I left my shelved things … shelved on the back shelves of my mind and forgot about them.

It was one of such holiday in Mid-June 

All of a sudden a vehicle of a moving company arrived in front of my house and built a mountain-pile of cardboard in front of the entrance. Witnessing the scene, I assumed the reason before my mother could tell about it to me.

 Finally that day has arrived when my mother’s remarriage partner will move in.

“Anyhow, these are too many cardboard boxes indeed, don’t you think as well…”
